CUPERTINO, Calif. – At its iPhone event Wednesday in California, Apple unveiled its new Apple Watch Series 4.
The new watch has many new features including a larger display, a louder speaker, and sensors that can take an electrocardiogram.
As Apple released information on the new Apple Watch, social media reacted.
Many applauded the innovations
Apple Watch has gone from “what is this for” and “there’s no killer use case” to a fundamental improvement in human health and safety in daily life.
Imagine that.

No joke, Apple Watch was one of the most well-paced devices I’ve ever seen… They took it slow and got it on people’s wrists to set up the slam dunk.
They just dropped something no one else can touch. #AppleEvent

Some were skeptical of one or two things
So let me get this straight. I’m gonna be flirting with a girl and the Apple Watch is gonna now monitor my heart rhythm and make sounds based off those rhythms? That should end well for me.#AppleWatch

The new Apple Watch is a fairly beautiful device and an incredible achievement. Does seem increasingly focused on an aging boomer population though. #AppleEvent

And others lamented features that weren’t included
Looking forward to the Apple Watch ad that more accurately describes my active lifestyle of walking around an office and typing really fast on a keyboard.
